User cannot apply lifecycle

jklawrence

This seems like a no-brainer, but I'm not seeing the issue.

I have created a new lifecycle.  Users have relate access on the lifecycle.  They can do all the necessary actions - promote, suspend, resume - but they cannot apply the lifecyle to a document.  The error is "User has no write permission on the object, is not the owner of the object, or is not a superuser".  Seems pretty clear.  The user is in fact not the owner or a superuser, but DOES have write permissions on the DOCUMENT and on the folder.  The only thing I can think of is that the reference to "object" means something else.

Any suggestions on what else to check?

I just found these 2 threads that indicate that this is by design.  A user cannot apply a lifecycle on a document s/he doesn't own.  I'm assuming the feature request is still open.

This error message is new to me.  It has always been my understanding that you can only attach lifecycle if you are the document owner OR you are superuser.  Giving someone WRITE permissions does not support this; which your scenario seems to prove.
